LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Monday, March 5, 2012

Hi. I am Courtney! The 3 most important people in my life are my hubby and 2 wonderful kiddos. I have always been creative, but never pursued it as a full time endeavor until about 1 year ago. I love planning events, surprising others with unexpected gifts and meeting new people. My life is just like anybody else’s I have ups and downs and I use my blog to express myself. The blogging community has been incredibly supportive and I look forward to making new lifelong friends. At the end of the day, I am a very simple person and all I truly need in life is God, Love, my Family, and of course Cute Shoes and Accessories!

this ever so darling blogger exudes with creativity, mad love for Fudge sticks (who doesn't?! they're the best!) and is in the shortie club with me (hehe). i am also the biggest fan of the Ralph Emerson quote on her front page (check it out for yourself - it's good!)

and today the talented, adorable Courtney offers one you lucky Much Love, illy readers a darling, very green (big fan of green here!) St. Patty's Day wreath! so perfect for one of my favorite holidays! (this girl plans to celebrate with many a shamrock shakes - but that's beside the point, really.)
